Should Matt Gaetz be prosecuted, just like Hunter, for buying firearms without revealing his addiction to cocaine?

1. Shove it in their fucking faces

[Mister Ed]

3. They won't care. They don't care.

What's criminal in a Democrat is laudable in a Republican.

18. Ben Meiselas just cut a video about this.

22. Sweet, thanks for the link!

2. Something about If the Shoe Fits?

Good for the Goose?

4. Of course he should, but he won't be.

[Meadowoak]

5. IOKIYAR it's OK, if you are a REPUBLICAN

[multigraincracker]

6. There no justice.....

Only us.

[Mike Niendorff]

7. Well, according to Adolph Trump ...

... he should actually have been **in charge of** the Hunter Biden prosecution, as Attorney General of the United States of America.

Just chew on that for minute.

9. The army of defenders of "Merrick the Meek" will

not be pleased that anybody has brought this up.

[lonely bird]

10. Yup!

To the absolute fullest extent of the law.

[KPN]

11. Fuck yes! Right now! Make Trump's DOJ

drop the charges — don’t let them get away with simply not pressing charges.

[Trueblue1968]

12. Yes. Lock him up. #LockUpGaetz. 10 years in the slammer

[EdmondDantes_]

13. Yes, more people should be prevented from getting guns

But how many of the people agreeing Gaetz should be prosecuted think Hunter Biden shouldn't have been? Consistency would say both or neither.

[W_HAMILTON]

14. Hunter was charged -- Gaetz has not.

Consistency now would be to charge Gaetz, just like Hunter was.

Glad I could clear that up for you!

15. Fair is fair

And foul (R) is foul (R).

[Vinca]

16. You silly thing. Laws are just for Democrats to follow.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. Hunter Biden has some questions

[LetMyPeopleVote]

19. Did Gaetz commit another crime?

[Lemons UK]

20. Felonies are welcomed in (R) land.

[City Lights]

21. If the law is good enough for Hunter, it's good enough for Matt.

Prosecute.

[Tickle]

23. Did Gaetz write a book

and admit to buying a gun while being addicted to cocaine?

[Kingofalldems]

25. No but he seems to have lied on the form though.

So I don't get your post.

[Straw Man]

24. One doesn't have to be an addict.

The form says "user of or addicted to."

Of course, he could have purchased his guns through private sale, which in Florida does not require a background check. He then wouldn't have had to lie on the form, since no form would be required. Lying on the form is what Hunter was charged with.

If Gaetz purchased from a licensed dealer, there would be a paper trail to the completed form. Getting it would require a subpoena, and charging him would require some verification of his drug use. In Hunter's case they had his autobiography. With Gaetz, they would probably need somebody to testify to it.

26. Prosecute, Prosecute, Prosecute

On the other hand. It'll just be a waste of money, the con man will pardon him

[Jaydog]

27. Garland failed us.

[Dave Bowman]

28. Yep.
